Saretta (hex53617261) | 18 comments Hi,

I have the following problem:
an italian sf editor (Nord) originally published its books without ISBN, then recently assigned an ISBN to the actual and previous edition of a book.
The problem is that each edition of the same Nord book has the same ISBN, so they can't be both added within Goodreads.

My idea is to assign the ISBN to the first edition only and to create the following ones without the ISBN information, is it a good idea?

Thanks,
Saretta

Sounds fine. In fact, it sounds like a fairly typical alternate-cover edition situation.
